We went to Phoenix to celebrate Joe Ellis 80th birthday. It happened at a mexican restaurant named Rosita's (or something like that) and many of his friends came to party with him. Lealand and Janet McSpadden, Ricky Johnson, the Trashers, Ed & Wanita, Jeff and Carrie McSpadden, Fran & Jim Herdrich and more came to fete the old guy.
